"My whole ambition in life is to set in motion machinery which will bring noble ideas to the door of everybody, and then let men and women settle their own fate.Let them know what our forefathers as well as other nations have thought on the most momentous questions of life. We are to put the chemicals together; the crystallization will be done by nature according to her laws. Keep the motto before you "ELEVATION OF THE MASSES WITHOUT INJURING THEIR RELIGION”

To embark on the greatest infinite journey of life is to know THE WARRIOR - Swami Vivekananda through and beyond his literature. Study of his literature is by itself the most ENCHANTING, UNCEASING, NERVE RATTLING PERSONALITY EXPERIENCE. In addition will be the greatest challenge which would and will taunt our manhood in darest of our dreams and in the waking hours of day. If done with complete certainity will act as a internal compass to achieve that most elusive experience of UNITY WITH GOD or experience of GODHOOD in this mortal body of ours.

It would be of high treason on my part if I remain muted in putting forth the grandeur tenure of his on this earth of ours. Which is only of 14,407 days [ 39 years,5 months,22 days - {{12.01.1863 - 4.07.1902}}] out of which only 3285 days [ 9 Years - {{ 11.09.1893 - 4.07.1902}} ] was his appearance in the public coliseum of world. And it will take humanity centuries to decipher, decrypt, understand and implement his call to humanity.

Why?

Because the more and more we read THE CYCLONIC WARRIOR - Swami Vivekananda’s literature; We start to realize the hidden infinite wisdom in his literature. And as we go on and on studying THE PROPHET WARRIOR - Swami Vivekananda’s literature, we unknowingly start tuning ourselves to the infinite wisdom of his.

Let this token of note act as an impetus and invitation for you and I to explore and imbibe him and his literature [In truest sense].....Not dryly worship him but to really inject him in blood of ours. For education is not just circulating a piece of paper to the other. But real education is that which when given creates a mutation in the being; Not just the obesity of the head but shift of the being towards real self of ours and towards Godhood!!!

Ultimate goal of this note is reached by itself the moment; Any one among us dares to accepts the great open challenge of life that of exponentially steady and exponentially introduce the LEADER WARRIOR - SWAMI Vivekananda to entire humanity.

LET ME END BY IMMORTAL CALL OF HIS { SWAMI VIVEKANANDA - THE DOCTOR OF MEN } FOR FIERY ACTION NOW AND HERE : - “ MY WHOLE AMBITION IN LIFE IS TO SET IN MOTION A MACHINERY WHICH WILL BRING NOBLE IDEAS TO THE DOOR OF EVERY BODY, AND THEN LET MAN AND WOMEN SETTLE THEIR OWN FATE "

These lines are written to shed light on Warrier Swami Vivekanada. Whose personality we don't know and even if known; it's very little. One of the first things which strikes like thunderous lighting is his call for strength and dynamism in our daily lives. And the need of inculcating these very attributes in our very lifes. This very fact on swamiji's literature is best articulated in the words of Romain Rolland [ A French Dramatist, Essayist, Art Historian and Mystic who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1915 ], which i cannot refain from quoting : -

" His [ SWAMI VIVEKANANDA ] words are great music, phrases in the style of Beethoven, stirring rhythms like the marth of Handel choruses. I cannot touch these sayings of his, scattered as they are through the pages of books, at THIRTY YEARS' distance, without receiving a thrill throught my body like an electric shock. And what shocks, what transports, must have been produced when in burning words they issued from the lips of the HERO..!!"

On hearing about Swami Vivekananda not having credential to speak at the parliament of regions [ Chicago, September 11, 1893 ], John Henry Wright a professor at Harvard university is quoted as saying " To ask for your credentials is like asking sun the right to shine in the heavens " Then John Henry Wright wrote a letter addressing the chairman of the parliament of regions saying " Here is a man who is more learned than all of our learned professors put together ". I would say that this would remain as one of the best introduction ever spoken or written about the HIMALAYAN personality of Swami Vivekananda.
